Off-Campus Housing:
I have not lived off campus yet, but I have begun looking and while there are many options only a few are realistic and close to campus. The school doesn't allow off-campus living until you have 60+ semester credit hours.

Campus Food:
I would rather have my own kitchen and be able to cook for myself, with the occasional ability to go to Roscoes or the UC for a meal. I thoroughly enjoy cooking and I have multiple comfort foods that I would love to be able to cook and that would help me de-stress. But realistically, keeping pots and pans in the dorm for (at best) occasional use is foolish, they simply take up space and cause clutter to persist.

Campus Housing:
The dorm in which I live is a private bedroom which I share with my room/dorm mate and she is great, the pairing did a wonderful job of picking a person with whom I would mesh and now she and I are best friends. I have been grateful to live in this dorm and although it is rather pricey I really wouldn't want to live anywhere else on campus.

Scholarships:
the experience i had with financial aid was terrible because each day i went to talk about the money i needed for tuition they would keep delaying and then each day it was a different person so it was even more difficult

Health & Safety:
the safety on campus is really good because one of the majors at Angelo State university is to become a cop so they have all the student cops patrolling the streets at night with real cops.

Off-Campus Housing:
There are many places to choose from in this town all over the place. There are many cheap apartments that if you got with a roommate or two, would be less than $300 a month for rent and utilities. The only downside would be the quality but even then, there aren't a lot of bad places to live in this town, or at least those places aren't close enough to campus to really consider living in them.

Party Scene:
I really think all of the best parties are the parties hosted by those in the theatre department. However, the Pike theme parties are not fun nor are they safe. The last time a group of my friend's went to a Pike party one of them got roofied. Not to mention that the parties are just all around lame and I would say you should try bringing as many guys as you can to feel safe, but sometimes they won't let guys in. So I don't think that the party scene has a positive influence. Maybe if we get the Pikes out of here that'll change things.

Health & Safety:
there's is rarely any campus crime most things that have happened have been in the neighborhoods around campus not on campus itself. whenever something happens we are quickly notified by the campus police. I feel pretty safe on campus more than I did in high school.

Students Often Come From

Overall ExperienceWhat's this?

Angelo State University, and San Angelo by extension, has a small, friendly feel. In addition to a standard choice of majors, ASU offers many programs throughout the semester for entertainment, and there is a club for everyone if a student does some digging. No matter what taste a student has, there will be a club of like-minded people, and overall, people are generally accepting of each other, even if they disagree with them.

The city has all the comforts of a larger city with the feel of a small town. There is very little to be left wanting when at ASU or in San Angelo. However, students that come from larger metropolitan areas may find the small size on the boring side due to minimal variety. On the flip side, students coming from rural ares are likely to love having things to do without a long drive. A few students dislike the area, and a few students love it, but overall, many are happy with the choice to come to ASU.
